I had to laugh, hard. It's fine if you want to insulate yourself. But I don't see that you're making much of a point here.

Not argument and return types. When conventions are followed they do exactly that, actually. And unless the code is a complete trainwreck, it's pretty easy to tell what the return type is, even without explicit annotation in the doc

Insane, no - it's just a tradeoff. I agree that on balance type signatures are better -- and that's why modern Python has evolved to incorporate them. But they aren't a magic cure-all, and do they impose a significant tax of

What the heck is 'bar' and 'baz'? So there's no docstring? And the actual variables are that random and indecipherable? Sounds like the problem is that you're tasked with looking at code written by someone w

Then call it "adaptive cruise control" and be done with it. There's only one reason they pick the term "autopilot" -- and that is to give people the impression that these cars have magical powers that they do not, i

A brief screening chat with a principal engineer. A follow-up chat with the CEO. Then a day of one-on-one interviews with each principal engineer. Sentences 1+2 together easily sound like a good chunk of a full day (considering breaks).

Apparently the leadership's conduct is just fine for MSFT, though. Mr. Kotick, who has served as CEO for more than three decades, didn’t inform the board of sexual misconduct allegations that he was aware of, including rape, against m

You can rag on the ruling class and the affluent, white, male, able-bodied elite all you want -- but one wonders what the real agenda here is behind the perceived need to push a cartoon-like and objectively distorted narratives, such as: C

Unlike with chess, in the poker world there's a huge financial incentive to run bots (or provide bot assistance to live players).

Do you think the product name "Full Self Driving" has anything to do with reality?

As long at Tesla continues to willfully and fraudulently push a product called "Full Self Driving" -- onto a customer base they know to be largely naive and unsophisticated -- they share responsibility for whatever death and carna

Misdirection. There's plenty of information available about the situation in Xinjiang independent of the US DoS.

I was "out of the loop", too - until I read the article. It's all there, just a few paragraphs down. Even if you believe the "maximize shareholder value" line - it is the very definition of the CEO's job to pr

To those who say: "But even if this is successful the same abuses will still happen in other countries" I say "Of course - so why stop at China?" Sadly, it doesn't seem likely that anything less than a full-scale bo

Prices will rise of course, as they will for just about everything across the board. But basically the elites will always find a way to keep their core services running. That you can count on.

The things is -- they ding you for a whole range of other things, all the time. Like not working for the right kind of company in your last job, failing their bullshit tests, or heaven forbid, having a "gap" in your resume. As i

I've been working on a new Web3 project with one of my friends, and have noticed that everything is really slow, expensive, and complicated. Rather than comment on your question I'd be very grateful if you could elaborate a bit

Well another major turn-off would be: a "primary skills" section that mentions 30 different random applications / protocols that one might have been incidentally exposed to for a week or 2 at some job ... 15 years ago. No o

I guess it would have to. And that's precisely where the true horror lies in such an idea.
